Hercules DJ Controller MK1 Mappings

Note:
The left and right mouse buttons on the controller are used as "shift"
keys. In most cases, using either the left or right button will have the
same effect, however some functions work differently depending on whether
you use the left or right shift key (mouse button). In the following,
if the word 'shift' is used, it means you can use either key, whereas
'left shift' and 'right shift' obviously refers to a specific key.
